    Conditional format formula to look at two columns of data and highlight duplicate question

    Greetings,

    I was hoping someone could assist me with a conditional format custom formula that would compare dates in column A with a Name in Column C and if there is a match to then highlight the duplicate date in Column A.

    I've attached a sample workbook with the sample data on the "test" worksheet and another worksheet displays what I'd like the end result to be, etc.

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

    Select test!A2:A9 with A2 the active cell. Use this conditional formatting formula: =SUMPRODUCT(($A$2:$A$9=$A2)*($B$2:$B$9=$B2)*($C$2:$C$9=$C2))>1 . This uses SUMPRODCT rather than a similar COUNTIFS call because you list Office 2007, in which Excel lacks COUNTIFS.
